Wait a minute, wait a minute. It's blasphemy, sacrilege, to entertain the idea that USC football fans are simply going to turn away from their beloved team on a November Saturday. Ordinarily, yes, it would be ridiculous -- maybe even offensive -- to suggest as much.

USC Trojans quarterback Miller Moss is following in the footsteps of the sport's giant quarterbacks. While Moss hasn't been perfect by any stretch of the imagination, no quarterback is. It's time to be honest about the issues plaguing USC football.

It’s Miller Moss’ first season as the starting quarterback, and he’s been mostly solid. Moss has passed for 1,618 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions in six games. He has completed 63.7 percent of his passes, and his 269.7 passing yards per game rank 20th among qualified FBS quarterbacks.
